Second Summer Program Presentation Outline Presentation Second Summer Program Presentation Outline Presentation Who is your audience? Consumers and the people for whom you want to work this summer. This is your chance to really impress them! Remember, you only have 20 MINUTES to present your idea, so be organized and concise. For example: Milestone reports/Final Presentation Each team will make a final PowerPoint presentation to the class and visitors, followed by a celebration luncheon in the faculty club. A laptop projector will be available as well as a video player if needed. The presentation will have the following format: • Slide 1: Team name, student members (individual or group picture with everyone’s names so someone can tell who is who!) and TAs AND define the theme area for your team (e.g., a sports device) (Milestone 1) • Slide 2: Describe the problem you set out to solve (show the different product strategies considered) (e.g., baseball, football) (Milestone 2) • Slide 3: Show results of Rohrbach and brainstorming process, and your top selected strategy (the product area, e.g., baseball) (Milestone 2) • Slide 4: Show results of Rohrbach and brainstorming process, and your top one or two concepts (the hardware ideas, e.g., pitching, or batting machine). Ideally, each person has created a solid model of their own favorite concept, and the slide shows each persons’ solid model, as well as the final solid model of the best evolved concept (Milestone 3) • Slide 5: Show experiments or other things you did to help select the “best concept” (e.g., we are developing a human powered pitching machine) (Milestone 4) • Slide 6: Show the final concept (solid model and sketch model) (Milestone 5) • Slide 7: Show the development of the concept (analysis, sketches, models, machining the parts etc) (Milestone 6) • Slide 8: Show the finished product! (Milestone 7) • Slide 9: Show the testing of the product (Milestone 8) • Slide 10: Results (how well it worked? Cost-to-produce estimate) (Milestone 8) • Slide 11: Conclusions: Is this product worth developing for the mass market? Anything else? (Milestone 8) Your presentation doesn't have to go exactly like this, but should have most of these ideas: A. Team/Product Intro. • Group members and product. • What were your original ideas and concepts? • What problem(s) does it solve? What products does it replace/compete with? • Market Research: Who wants to buy it? B. How did you pick your final design? (design process is important) • Functional Criteria: What does it have to do? • Which criteria were important (Perhaps show how you weighed and graded them?) C. Prototypes (how did they evolve?) • Did you identify any major problems with your design. D. What was your final product? • What are its features? • Why is it better? • What will you make it out of? • Were there any variations or spin-offs (similar ideas)? • Price: What are similar items priced at in a store? Do you think you can compete? • If you still have problems, how are you gonna fix them? E. What next with your product? You may add things you think are important, but remember you only have 20 minutes! .

Knuckles: Players should have the bat in both hands with the front (knocking) knuckles lined up as close as possible.

In a proper stance with the knocking knuckles lined up, hands in front of the body at armpit height and the bat resting on the shoulder. Relaxed Load-up: Position the batter takes when the pitcher starts to wind up or on the first movement after the stretch position. When the pitcher Loads-up to pitch, the batter Loads-up to hit.

  • Analysis of Softball Pitching (PDF)
    1 Softball Pitching Technique Marion J.L. Alexander, PhD. Carolyn Taylor, MSc Sport Biomechanics Laboratory Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management University of Manitoba Softball Pitching Technique Softball pitching is the most important skill in the game of softball, as the pitcher can dominate as no other player is able to do. Softball is usually a low scoring game in which only one or two runs are scored during the entire game, often due to the dominance of a highly skilled pitcher. Pitchers require several years to perfect their technique and gain control over the speed and direction of their pitches. Softball pitchers use an underhand motion that is not as stressful to the shoulder joint as the overhand pitch used in baseball. Softball pitchers can often pitch several games in one day, and often have an extended career of many years due to the lower stress levels on the shoulder joint. A softball pitcher may pitch as many as six 7-inning games during a weekend tournament; and often the best pitcher on a college team pitches most, if not all of the games each season (Werner, Guido et al. 2005). This may result in approximately 1200-1500 pitches being thrown in a 3-day period for a windmill pitcher, as compared to 100-150 for a baseball pitcher (Werner, Guido et al. 2005). The softball pitch is a relatively simple motion, consisting of a step forward from the mound onto the foot on the non pitching arm side, weight shift onto this foot, and rotation of the shoulders and trunk to a position facing the batter.

  • Mt. Airy Baseball Rules Majors: Ages 11-12
    ______________ ______________ “The idea of community . the idea of coming together. We’re still not good at that in this country. We talk about it a lot. Some politicians call it “family”. At moments of crisis we are magnificent in it. At those moments we understand community, helping one another. In baseball, you do that all the time. You can’t win it alone. You can be the best pitcher in baseball, but somebody has to get you a run to win the game. It is a community activity. You need all nine players helping one another. I love the bunt play, the idea of sacrifice. Even the word is good. Giving your self up for the whole. That’s Jeremiah. You find your own good in the good of the whole. You find your own fulfillment in the success of the community.

  • Here Comes the Strikeout
    LEVEL 2.0 7573 HERE COMES THE STRIKEOUT BY LEONARD KESSLER In the spring the birds sing. The grass is green. Boys and girls run to play BASEBALL. Bobby plays baseball too. He can run the bases fast. He can slide. He can catch the ball. But he cannot hit the ball. He has never hit the ball. “Twenty times at bat and twenty strikeouts,” said Bobby. “I am in a bad slump.” “Next time try my good-luck bat,” said Willie. “Thank you,” said Bobby. “I hope it will help me get a hit.” “Boo, Bobby,” yelled the other team. “Easy out. Easy out. Here comes the strikeout.” “He can’t hit.” “Give him the fast ball.” Bobby stood at home plate and waited. The first pitch was a fast ball. “Strike one.” The next pitch was slow. Bobby swung hard, but he missed. “Strike two.” “Boo!” Strike him out!” “I will hit it this time,” said Bobby. He stepped out of the batter’s box. He tapped the lucky bat on the ground. He stepped back into the batter’s box. He waited for the pitch. It was fast ball right over the plate. Bobby swung. “STRIKE TRHEE! You are OUT!” The game was over. Bobby’s team had lost the game. “I did it again,” said Bobby. “Twenty –one time at bat. Twenty-one strikeouts. Take back your lucky bat, Willie. It was not lucky for me.” It was not a good day for Bobby. He had missed two fly balls. One dropped out of his glove.

  • Special Base Running Situations
    Special Base Running Situations 1. Situation: The base runners responsibility on the hit and run Some coaches want the runner to shorten his lead and not worry about a great jump. They feel it is the batters job to make contact. Their reasoning is if the batter doesn’t put the bat on the ball the base runner is “hung out to dry”. The base runner should be conditioned that when the hit and run us on he is trying to steal the base. The only difference is after his third step he needs to take a good look at the batter to pick up the flight on the ball and make the necessary reaction. The only true exception to this is for the pitcher that has a great move to 1st base and it is difficult to steal 2nd base. In this situation the base runner breaks to 2nd only when he knows the pitcher is delivering the ball to home plate. If the base runner can’t pick up where the baseball was hit he should look directly at the 3rd base coach. The coach shouldn’t YELL at the base runner, but arm signal him what he wants him to do. For some reason many players loose there sense of hearing when they are running full speed. The coach should point back to 1st base if the ball was hit in the air and he wants him to return, arm circle signal if he wants the base runner to advance to 3rd base, or point to 2nd base if he wants the base runner to stay there.

  • 1213 ASU PREP Baseball HANDBOOK
    ASU PREPARATORY ACADEMY BASEBALL PROGRAM 2013 Our the 4-Basic Pitches: 1. Fastball: (4-Seam & 2-Seam) A.) 4-Seam Grip - Grip the ball across all four seams. Excellent pitch to throw hard, up in the strike zone. B.) 2-Seam Grip - Grip the ball along the two short seams of the ball. This produces a sinking pitch. Use this grip to keep the fastball down and get a little move movement on the pitch. 2. Slider: (Slrrrrr) This Pitch looks like a fastball coming in but can tail away or drop away from hitters. Taking a two-seam grip you will basically throw it like a fastball except slide both fingers together keeping your pointer finger right down the middle of the ball. Put pressure on the outside finger as you throw to give it that late break. 3. Change-Ups: Modified Circle & Choke (or Palm ball) Circle Change up - Grip the ball by making the O.K. sign with your thumb and index finger. Place the middle and ring finger on the seams and let the pinkie finger rest on the outside of the baseball. Use the same throwing motion that you use throwing the fastball so you don't tip off the pitch. 4. Curves: “Pop the Top” (or Spinner): There are a couple of different ways to grip the Pop the top pitch or spinner ball. Grip the ball along the seam of the "horseshoe" or 4-seam fastball grip and turn your hand to the side. Put most of the pressure on the middle finger & thumb (snapping fingers).

  • Steps to a Safe and Playable Infield
    IT’S BEEN SAID FOR GENERATIONS THAT BASEBALL IS THE GREAT AMERICAN PASTIME. And, despite wars, the Great Depression, or even the 232-day Major League baseball strike of ‘94, baseball remains the cornerstone of American sports. As the Little League coach, the high school Athletic Director, the county Parks and Rec Director, or the collegiate or professional Grounds Manager, you have been entrusted to keep this great game safe for the players and the baseball and softball fields playable and functioning at their highest possible levels. And now with the engineering, innovation and product development from DuraEdge® and ABI Sports Turf®, A SAFE AND PLAYABLE INFIELD IS AS EASY AS 1,2,3! STEPS TO A SAFE AND PLAYABLE INFIELD: Understanding the necessary components to make your infields safe and playable is important, but understanding which components 1. comes first, second, and third is critical! Regardless of the infield grooming and moisture management equipment you own, and regardless of which topdressing you use on your infields, it will not matter to the success of your facility if the 1-4 inches below the surface is not properly engineered and installed…period! DuraEdge is the first and only infield mix company in America to use Engineered Soil Technology (E.S.T.), which verifies which materials currently make up your infield, and creates a customized and engineered plan on how to make it the very best it can be. Regardless of your infield’s level of play or condition, or even your budget, DuraEdge can create a plan that will work for you! The old saying “if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got” applies here! If you don’t get the foundation of your infield right, you will continually struggle with its safety and playability.
